Day of Defeat: Source - Anyone here still play it?

Phonesis · 6 Jan 2015 at 15:51

I fired DoD:Source up the other day and was soon back into it. Servers seem to be going strong still with a large player population it seems.

The game has great maps and the MG class is so much fun when you find a good position. Lots of people on the mics too. Graphics still seem good (clearly dated but not bad considering).

Anyone here still play it?

I used to adore it but every time I've reinstalled it's a quick 20 minutes before uninstalling again, just doesn't have the same effect on me it did nearly 10 years ago.

Nothing was ever as satisfying as giving someone a good fisting or spading... As Ayahuasca, I tend to install it, have a quick 20 mins then remove it again. Just doesn't grab me any more.

Nope

Shame Valve never really bothered supporting it much, I remember back when it was on the old Half Life engine I played it to death.

TF2 Happened then Dota2.

I'm looking forward to Left 4 Fortress: Episode Life 3 though.

Sometimes I go back on it, usually play Donner or Avalanche...love the BAR.

Still occasionally have a blast on it, always leave it installed, but its not the same without the old team to play with.

Epic bump... wanted to see if anyone would be down for a regular blast on this.

Still plenty of servers, and it's a great laugh to kill an hour or two on the weekends

Add me on Steam if you're down!

It was fun to play a while ago, but for me, Day of Infamy is far better.

Rroff · 3 Jan 2018 at 08:23

Still prefer the original - DOD:S had horrid spread and recoil mechanics to try and force balance between different skilled players.

McBain · 3 Jan 2018 at 12:53

I still have the odd game but have to agree with the above, the original was far better. The same can be said of all Source games actually except TF.

Swinbag · 3 Jan 2018 at 13:11

Used to love it but given the choice I'd play Day of Infamy instead now.

Glanza · 3 Jan 2018 at 13:23

Shame they don't add the theme into CS GO and use that engine, would be back on it in a heartbeat.

Columbo · 3 Jan 2018 at 13:35

As above, as much as I loved DoD now Day of Infamy is out, has active development and a decent player base there just isn't any reason to play this anymore other than for nostalgic reasons.
I actually installed it a few months ago but it just didn't grab me like it used to.

Sumanji · 3 Jan 2018 at 18:00

Oooh, Day of Infamy - tell me more?

Realized I bought this but never installed! Defo down for some banter, if there is a regular group on here that plays

McBain · 3 Jan 2018 at 18:31

Day of Infamy is indeed good.
